The interest yield on the bonds will be approximately 4.608 per cent. The bonds were 4 per cent serial bonds, the maturities; being $1,000,000 due each year from 1045 to 1954 inclusive. j ^our groups, representing fort eight of the leading financial inst tions of the country, participated the public auction bidding. Col. C. B Miller, Director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, presided at the sale and all of the state officers were present. The sale was concluded on the 61st auction bid, after whir a. conference of the state officials wn<- held and the award made. In conformity with the terms of ill*' bidding, the successful bidder also a c cepted a 15 day option on a block of $10,000,000 additional bonds of the same maturities at the same price Governor Small in commenting or the sale made the following state ment: "I am highly gratified at tberate of 99.881 received in today's sals The highest rate previous to this time was 99.688 which was offered in 1922 for a block of the $60,000,000 bonds. The average of all bonds sold of the $60,000,000 issue was approximately 97.60. This emphasizes the excellent price received in today's sale, and shows that Illinois' financial rating has not been impaired in the least hy the investments of the proceeds of previous bond sales in durable hara surfaced roads. I predict the most successful year of highway construction in 1925." The groups which competed for the bonds are as follows: Group No. 1--National City Co.

Weqtwod|k ,, Local stockholders of the Public Service company of northern Illinois are receiving copies of their company's 1925 year book. The year book, a beautifully printed and artistically arranged publication contains a mass of information about the rapidly developing territory served by the company in northeastern Illinois. The company has over 25,000 stockholders each of whom will receivc a copy. Among the interesting features it contains are airplane views taken in the territory last fall. Several of the company's plants and the residential and business sections of a number of cities are pictured. The book Bhows that 12 communities --Cabery, Kempton, North Riverside. Specialville, Buckingham, East Wen ona, Buffalo Grove, Fairview, Reddick. Orchard Place, Otto and Custer Patk --were added to the company's line? last year. In connection with the addition ot these t-jwns, the book points out that the company, by constantly broadening its fteH of service, was enabled to bring electricity and gas to these communities which otherwise might noi have received the advantages of such service for years to come. The publication also ppints out the number of customers served at the end of 1924 was 283,629, an increase of 12.1 per cent over 1923. This increase, in itself, is an indication of the stability nnd growth of business in the territory served. The final pages of the publication list the company's stores, offices, electric generating stations, electric substations, gas manufacturing plants, heating plants and the cities, towns and villages served. .
